Sutra question

Hi all,
I've got a question about essential sutra - it seems like a ridiculously awesome skill to me - but I've heard that double spark is a better use of the spark...
And I'm wondering why >.<...
If sutra takes away channeling time, can't you just about kill anything in that 6s?
Whereas it would take longer with a double spark...
Can anyone confirm please? Or am I just being a noob and missing something? b:shocked b:thanks

    double spark depending on how well you manage your sutra usage. Saves more mana. And gives more bang per mana used.

    If you manage to routinely get off 4-5 skills in sutra then sutra is more of a mana saver. As you regain quite a bit of chi back.

    And yes a sutra combo pretty much kills any normal mob you face. (and lets you steal the aggro off elite mobs lol! so awesome.)
    =D

    Also make sure you have wellspring quaff on at all time since both double spark/sutra regains 10% back of your total mana pool.

    Kantorek: Yeah.. you should try it. It's awesome.

    Spark is better for mobs, because saving mana. You can kill mobs without so many spells. Usually 2-3 but with sutra you will kill it faster, but with 3-4 spells. So you safe 1 spells = more mana.

    o ya me forgot about situations when mobs drop fast enough before the spark ends. Then you can double spark to save mana.

    Look, hamsta, you can use proper grammar. I'm proud of you b:bye
    Bladestorm lets you spin around like a carnival ride and do damage. Not using it is almost like having a move called Confetti Rocket Power Leap and saving it for "emergencies"
